Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just five minutes from Trindade metro and with iconic spots such as the Lello bookstore and Bolhão market within easy reach, hopping around Porto is a breeze when you stay at this cosy apartment. As you’d expect from a studio, space is limited, but you’ll find a comfortable place to rest your head. There’s no oven here, so it won’t suit those looking to rustle up culinary creations, but with a plethora of restaurants on your doorstep, dining out is always on the menu.

Home truths
Construction work is ongoing in the apartment building during the daytime. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
Noise must be kept to a minimum between 11pm-7am.
